The journal box covers are supposed to be removed if going thru interchange but as these are in plant cars, that isn't mandatory. And with paint spray being around, keeping the covers on would help protect the bearings.

This was a great catch. I love "critters" - the littlest locomotives. There was a really interesting one that sat for a while at the old Landmark grain elevator in Columbus, OH - it actually had a jackshaft and a single powered axle! Sadly, when Landmark abandoned the elevator, the locomotive was left to rot (and eventually removed).

As a lifelong rail fan, my dad and I were in a Railroad club when I was younger down in N.C. There were a couple of 45 ton engines & and eventually the got a bit larger one. Progress forward quite a few years and I was driving trucks and eventually carried one of these same locomotives (25 ton GE) about 150 miles to the club dad and I used to be in. Probably one of my coolest trips as a truck driver. I have been up through The Buckeye quite a bit few the years and have seen a good number of old engines like this one and a few others as well. Nice video btw.

This is the old Cincinnati northern RR. PC welded the rail back in the 1970s. I caught a CR train , north bound between Carlisle and Germantown in 1979. The CN branched off the NYC in carlisle,then went 1 mile to a crossing with the B&O cincy-toledo main. CR ran the last train on this line about 1983 when they tore up the line north of Germantown. (farmersville,west alexandria,lewisburg,west machchester(PRR crossing)etc,,, Dupps bought the line, but Chessie did not want a diamond, so they built a connection(i think there was an old right of way connection in place)to Chessie and ripped out the diamond. I have many photos at the diamond of BO/CR. Lewisburg bought the old depot and moved it to a nearby park. West Alexandria depot is in place.

Norfolk Southern delivers full cars and picks up the empties. Hershey employees make switches about 3 to 4 times a day depending on the amount of product they produce, using a two person crew. NS delivers full cars I believe every other day. It may be something you would be interested in. The plant is located at 1033 Old West Chocolate Ave. in Hershey, Pa.

Love it! Thanks for this. I'm in the habit of checking out the locations of these videos on google maps and streetview (since I'm on the other side of the world and am unlikely to ever visit them in person). After the recent Franklin street-running videos, I naturally followed the (now disjointed) track north and noticed the Dupps factory with its little GE switcher and wondered about the operations there. I even noticed the gate across the truss bridge and thought perhaps the Dupps trains never ventured out of town. So it's good to know that it does occasionally get a decent run. That's got to be about the quietest US train I've ever seen (or heard). I get so used to bells and the usual 2 long, 1 short 1 long horn blasts on every US railroad video, that it becomes very noticeable when those sounds are missing. Surprising there wasn't really any warning when entering the road crossing. Yes, it was dead slow, but still. :)
